EN Think utopia is an architectural photography atelier nestled away among the snowy peaks of the Alps and the mists of Lake Geneva. Fruit of the union between an interior designer Manon Duparc and architect François Pain, who both conceive the image as a dream factory.

In contrast with the standardization that seems to define our time, Think Utopia claims a world of singularity where nothing is granted, but rather everything is suggested. Their philosophy stems from a sheer desire to capture the fleeting moment where evocative details insinuate a sensible whole, thus harnessing the essence of a place into an image.

Based in Geneva & Paris, the atelier captures and immortalizes architecture, design and art throughout the world.

FR Think utopia est un atelier de photographie d’architecture niché entre les sommets enneigés des Alpes et les brumes du lac Léman. Il est l’union d’une architecte d’intérieur Manon Duparc et d’un architecte François Pain, pensant tous deux l’image comme une fabrique de rêves.

À contre-courant de la googlisation du 21ème siècle, son univers est un plaidoyer pour l’imaginaire où l’ensemble n’est pas acquis mais suggéré. Sa philosophie est de capter l’instant où la poésie du réel émane d’une partie d’un tout, figeant ainsi l’alchimie atmosphérique du lieu en une image.

Installé à Genève & Paris, l’atelier capture et immortalise des projets d’architecture, de design et d’art ici et là autour du monde.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE – THINK UTOPIA

Welcome to www.think-utopia.ch

Perceiving the image as a crafter of dreams is our philosophy. That said, given that our offers also concern business, we are unable to avoid providing a standard contractual basis for these transactions. This is the purpose of the following rules that we have agreed between you and us (we are THINK UTOPIA SARL Quai du Cheval-Blanc 21, les Acacias, Geneva, Switzerland, e-mail: hello@think-utopia.ch). Our General Conditions of Use and of Sale are intended to govern the business relationship between you and us in a binding and impartial manner.

Therefore, the basis for any order or agreement will always be the following General Conditions of THINK UTOPIA SARL, which you acknowledge and confirm by placing an order with us. You can consult the General Conditions here and print them if necessary.

For business relationships between THINK UTOPIA SARL, acting here under the registered brand name THINK UTOPIA (hereinafter THINK UTOPIA) and the buyer, only the following General Conditions, in their version valid at the time of order, shall apply. THINK UTOPIA does not recognise the buyer’s different Conditions, unless their validity is expressly agreed in writing by THINK UTOPIA.

We would also like to point out the following in advance: papers, dyes and other materials used as primary materials, may undergo slight alteration over time, in some cases even from one production batch to the next. These changes take place particularly over time due to high temperatures, high levels of humidity or important fluctuations and to the sun’s rays. In order to fully benefit from our work over the long-term, the photographs, laminated items and frames should not be displayed, in whole or in part, in direct sunlight, or suspended directly above heating apparatuses and not be exposed to ambient levels of humidity higher than that of regular living spaces. The photographs, laminated items and frames are therefore not suitable for outdoor spaces, basements, bathrooms or kitchens. The laminated items with a protective UV film or acrylic glass and the wooden frames are very sensitive to scratches and marks and should therefore only be handled with gloves or similar protection.
